Zhong Shengyi, Vice Dean of SPEIT, a dual-appointed professor at the Paris Elite Engineer School and the School of Material Science and Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, a PhD supervisor, deputy director of the National Key Laboratory of Neutron Science and Technology. She graduated with a bachelor's degree from the School of Materials at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2007 and obtained her PhD in nuclear technology from the French Atomic Energy Commission - Paris 11 University (joint training) in 2012.

Her primary research focus is on neutron scattering for materials characterization. She has hosted numerous scientific research projects, including a National Key R&D Program project, three National Natural Science Foundation projects, and over ten other research projects such as the Aviation Science Fund. She leads the independent design and construction of the "He Tu" neutron diffraction engineering stress spectrometer and the "Luo Shu" neutron small-angle scattering spectrometer. She has published 70 SCI journal papers in academic journals such as Acta Materialia and the International Journal of Plasticity, applied for over 13 invention patents, written 3 national standards, and edited 3 undergraduate textbooks. Her systematic innovations at the intersection of neutron technology and materials science established a full-chain solution encompassing “theoretical models-testing techniques-engineering applications,” with direct application in multiple national major projects.
